Scott reacts to the Los Angeles Lakers being sold for 10 BILLION dollars.
Summer’s typically the time for footy obsessives to take a break from club football to devote their divided attention to international tournaments and non-footy interests, but FIFA, in all its wisdom, decided to launch the Club World Cup. Great.
Join Tosin and Deen for a brisk trip through all the goings-on in world football over the last week, from the USMNT snapping a 4-game losing streak in their CONCACAF Gold Cup opener, to the sparsely attended and South American devoted Club World Cup.

The world's most inconsistent podcast is back at it! Scott, Bang, Merk & Pav recap what they've been up to the last month, the guys then pay their respects to Ananda Lewis, the BET Awards finally getting it right, ICE wildin & much more
On episode 221 of Some Dude Podcast, Mike B. and J.R. Bang bring a mix of laughs, insights, and debate as they tackle everything from hip-hop to cultural moments.
The episode kicks off with a quick mental health check, ensuring their listeners know how they’re holding up before they head straight into a hot topic: Lil Wayne’s newly released "Tha Carter VI." The duo analyzes the album's highs and lows, with Mike giving it a 5/10 while acknowledging some standout tracks. They examine whether it’s time to accept that rappers, like Lil Wayne, might not age as gracefully in the industry. The hosts compare Wayne’s current career to sports analogies – is he more of a designated hitter than an MVP these days?
Next, they dissect the marathon BET Awards. Mike and Bang react to Mariah Carey receiving her VERY FIRST BET Award and unpack whether the elusive chanteuse is truly respected by the culture. Was this long overdue, or does her career need more acknowledgment beyond the accolades?
Rounding out the episode, the laughs continue with a segment highlighting Keith Sweat’s lament about being single at 63 because “women don’t cook or clean.” Bang’s animated rant takes center stage as they poke fun at the R&B legend’s woes and unrealistic expectations in today’s dating scene.
On this weeks episode of RAOP we chop up about the upcoming Pod A Thon, signing a 360 deal with Exxxotica, is SINNERS 2 necessary, Erica Banks going on a stripping world tour, Offset crashing out over fresh braids and a ton more.
Gooners! As pledged, here’s the second half of our Arsenal season review with Elliot. This is the bit with player rankings, transfer talk, squad building debates, off-field chatter, and our overall assessment of an ultimately frustrating season that still showed progress in certain departments.
Thanks for sticking with us this season and we’ll be popping up here and there all summer.
Tap in and UP THE ARSENAL!
